Surfing the web I stumbled upon at these beautiful pictures of Tbilisi that make the city look like a miniature. Many photographers use a special technique of Tilt Photography that simulates a mock-up effect also called a Miniature Faking. “Miniature faking is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is made to look like a photograph of a miniature scale model. Blurring parts of the photo simulates the shallow depth of field normally encountered in close-up photography, making the scene seem much smaller than it actually is” – Wikipedia

Truly, country has a lot to offer, The capital – Tbilisi is a mix of eastern and western cultures, here you may buy antiques and handmade carpets, enjoy the finest Georgian and Western cuisine, visit ancient churches and etc.
